2009-03-14 22:17:38 Daniel Hahler virtualbox-ose: statusexplanation The problem is that virtualbox-ose-source depends on "linux-headers-generic | linux-headers". "linux-headers" is a virtual package, and as far as I know, this needs an alternative in the "Depends". Since linux-headers-generic is used there, you get this installed, although you appear to need linux-headers-386. Is there a particular reason why you are using the -386 kernel? Either switch to the -generic kernel, or install linux-headers-386 to make virtualbox-ose-source/DKMS working.
2009-03-14 22:18:21 Daniel Hahler title [Jaunty] virtualbox-ose-source does not find kernel source and thus fails installation [Jaunty] virtualbox-ose-source does not find kernel source due to depends on "-generic" as alternative
